OMEGO® Plus may help with rehab during COVID-19 by sup-porting early rehabilitation & a comprehensive therapy pro-gram within one device.
- Reduce number of times a patient moves between diffe-rent devices.
- OMEGO® Plus addresses endurance, strength and coordi-nation all in one device.
- Disinfection once per session and not after every device.
- Software guided goal-oriented therapy sequences can reduce the number of physical interactions between pa-tients and therapists.
- Multiple OMEGO®’s can be safely spaced apart and allow the treatment of several patients at once by a single therapist. This facilitates continuous indirect supervision of all patients with minimal direct contact.

This is why we believe OMEGO® Plus can help on the pathway to recovery during a pandemic. |
